Small but MIGHTY – introducing the Tom’s Studio Pocket Fountain Pen. This little pen packs quite a punch despite it’s diminutive size. Measuring 100mm when capped and a whopping 165mm posted, it feels like a full size pen perfect for all hand sizes. This is a zero compromise pocket pen with a fantastic selection of interchangeable nibs.

Balance - As customers who have followed my work for some time know, I obsess over balance. I think it can really make or break a writing instrument. Which is why I’ve gone over the design and tweaked all of the materials and dimensions to get a balance that sits perfectly in the centre of the pen. Also, when posted (cap on the back of the pen) the extra length just gives you an extra bit of leverage to play with so that you can achieve a lightness of touch when practicing calligraphic upstrokes too.

No Limits - Traditional fountain pens often have a restricted grip area that’s next to an ‘ungrippable’ thread section. Personally I like to hold the pen closer to the nib when writing and further away when drawing. Which is why the Pocket Pen has a 50mm length with no interference.

Sustainability - As you know I’m a big advocate for creating products that last. Despite being an innately sustainable design, the fountain pen has an Achilles heel – the disposable ink cartridge – it’s incredibly convenient but once empty it’s unfortunately destined for landfill. So I’ve included a very handy ink syringe, this gives you the ability to refill your ink cartridges! It works by drawing up ink from a bottle of your choice which you can then fill your previous cartridge with!

Micro-Grooves - Customer feedback (thanks folks!) has led me to machine tiny little grooves in the body of the pen. This means you get all the benefits of the anodised aluminium (longevity, colour weight) without a slippery grip.

Roll stop - Octagons are the bestagons... hitting that sweet spot between comfortable form in the hand, whilst stopping your beloved pen from disappearing from sight as it plunges towards the floor (inevitably) nib first.

Choose one of the following nibs:

Each nib has unique characteristics so please do read up on each to help you make the best choice.

Specifications:

  • Length capped – 100mm
  • Length uncapped – 70mm
  • Pen barrel diameter – 10mm
  • Weight – 25g

Full FAQs and a video guide to getting started with your Studio Fountain Pen can be found here.

Please note: We recommend you flush your fountain pen thoroughly before use. This will remove any oils from the nib which are present during manufacture, and will impede ink flow. 

What ink can I use?
The Studio Fountain Pen works beautifully with all fountain pen inks. Be sure not to use calligraphy specific ink as this can clog the pen.

How do I change the nib?
The nib units all unscrew from the pen. With the nib pointing towards you, remove the ink converter then simply pinch the nib and the feed (the black part under the nib) and twist anti-(counter) clockwise.

We aim to process your order within 1-3 working days. Please note that this increases to 1-4 working days for orders that include any personalisation, such as engraving.

Writes like a Dream

I admire the construction of the pen just as much as I love how the Studio Fountain Pen writes. It was delivered while I was away attending the SF PEN Show (pretty sure it changed my life) -- the perfect time to unbox and take my new pen through its paces. I'm a lefty and verso --inclined to write on the left-side pages of a journal. I hold the pen normally, addressing the paper 'straight on' and I slant the nib a few degrees to my right. 'Nuff said about that. Fascinating that the pen, itself, can be used as an ink reservoir, I went right for the silicon grease (I planned ahead), lubed the o-rings and threads (Tom, bless you for that video!), and used the lovely syringe (provided w/ the pen) to fill the pen with my ink of choice and screwed the pen back together. I shook the pen a couple of times to encourage the ink to the nib (EF Fine) and the ink flowed evenly, and just wet enough, from the first stroke. I filled one page with beautiful, varied and controlled lines, then another page...(wow, no misses -- and what a wonderful smooth ride!). And i had started a 3rd page before it hit me ..."Oh **it! I hafta go get Sylvie!" I board my cat when I go out of town, and now I'd be lucky to get there for her before closing time. I hadn't wanted to stop writing with this lovely-feeling pen, and i'd lost track of time. (Over an hour). I take my Studio Fountain Pen everywhere,; it's a perfectly portable size. The weight and balance feels just right, and I write with it posted and un-posted. I love that it writes beautiful Copperplate, and i can practice calligraphic and 'sraight ahead' print styles with it. I am supremely happy with my new Studo Fountain pen! Thank you for this unique pen, Tom.

Honestly the best

This pen is simply perfection. So well made and comfortable to use and the choice of nibs and particularly Pro Flex is nothing short of incredible. If you are looking for a Rolls Royce amongst fountain pens for calligraphy lovers look no further. Please bring the green (Ivy) colour back!!

Lovely Flex Pen

I have been using Tom’s Studio Pocket Pen for a couple of weeks now. The finish and color are very nice. I have the sage green. The nib is great. Its flex is just like a dip pen. I can get thin and thick lines with good ink flow. Very nice pen and great customer service as well.
